Ozy and Millie
Wisdom for short attention spans.
Over at my home station:
- The gay unicorn agenda July 26, 2017Did you catch the reveal of Max’s parents in this week’s strips? I’ve actually known all along that Max has lesbian parents. I’ve been waiting for years for it to come up organically. And it actually did in the forthcoming Phoebe and Her Unicorn In: The Magic Storm, which is due out in October. So […]Dana Simpson
- School Library Journal June 28, 2017SLJ’s Brigid Alverson interviewed me for a great article about LGBTQ representation in comics. I’m quoted in the article, but I said a lot more, and apparently it was interesting enough that she also published the whole interview. Read more →Dana Simpson

I did hear about a friend’s small son getting some martial arts lessons on the side and then coming at a bully with techniques the bully didn’t know, but I have this feeling that wouldn’t work for Ozzie.
Ozy is too passive and Millie is too dangerous. AKA Catch 22. lol
That’s not a Catch-22.
the catch-22- if Ozy and Millie continue what they are doing, they’ll get stuffed into things. Small Ozy joins the rugby team, the team wants him gone because he’s 45 lbs (possibly soaking wet) and to “encourage” him to quit so he doesn’t have to play,he gets stuffed into things. Added bonus option, he tries to fight back, Jeremy proves to him he can’t by stuffing him into something. And he has the feeling of having stooped to the level and failed. And show of hands- if Millie didn’t stick with words and the lectures (for being seen) were being given, who thinks the word “ladylike” would come up in one lecture and they’d forget the “she’s a girl and smaller than you” in the other? (does this depress me? let me count the ways…)
Okay, forget what I said about leading by example: these people are morons 😛
Principal Vine is a moron. Sorkowitz has the standard education mentality towards bullying.
Actually, my teachers at least tried to tell the bullies to cool it.
With mediocre success…
